Vision Check (Eye Test)

Eye Test
It measures how well a person can see at various distances. Through refraction, it helps identify common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Fundus

Tonometry
The Fundus Test involves capturing cross-sectional pictures of your retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. This test can detect conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and vitreous traction.

Tonometry

Fundus
The Tonometry test involves the machine emitting slight puffs onto your eye to measure its pressure, securing your vision by detecting and preventing glaucoma.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT
The Optical Coherence Tomography test involves capturing cross-sectional pictures of your retina, which can help the ophthalmologist diagnose various eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.

Dry Eye Test

Dry Eye Test
Doctors will take a sample of tears from each eye and use cutting-edge equipment to measure osmolarity. The Osmolarity Test will give a measurement of the health and stability of your tear film. Once your osmolarity number is determined, that’s when we can design a treatment regimen tailored to your specific condition.

Frequently asked questions

Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface.

You may have Dry Eye Disease/Syndrome if you have two or more of the symptoms below:

  • Redness
  • Burning
  • Itching
  • Fluctuation in vision
  • Feeling of sand or grit in eye
  • Contact lens in discomfort
  • Light sensitivity
  • Watery eyes
  • Tired eyes
  • Indoor environment
  • Outdoor environment
  • Frequent flying
  • Smoking
  • Health conditions
  • Medications
  • Eyelid problems
  • Have been diagnosed as a potential dry eye sufferer
  • Have non-specific ocular discomfort 
  • Have the need or desire for eye surgery (LASIK, Cataract, ICL, etc.)
  • Post refractive surgery patients 
  • Works in low humidity environments
  • Long term glaucoma medication users
  • Contact lens wearers
  • Intense computer, TV, smart phones and tablet users

Ishihara Eye Test

Ishihara Eye Test
The Ishihara Eye Test is a color vision exam used to detect red-green color deficiencies (color blindness). It involves identifying numbers or shapes within colored plates, which appear differently to individuals with varying degrees of color blindness.

Frequently asked questions

People with normal color vision can easily identify the number or shape, while those with red-green color blindness may see the number or shape differently or not at all.

The test can help identify the severity of the red-green deficiency.

The Ishihara test is not a definitive diagnosis and should be used in conjunction with other tests for a complete assessment. It is primarily designed to test red-green color blindness and may not be as effective for other types of color vision deficiencies.

If you frequently encounter discrepancies in your color perception, or you are finding it difficult to differentiate certain shades and hues, you may have a form of color deficiency.

  • An enhanced sense of smell
  • Enhanced night vision
  • Bright light sensitivity
  • Difficulties reading colored work pages
  • Decreased attention span when coloring
  • Exclusively coloring with the wrong colors
  • Head or eye ache when looking at red on green or green on red backgrounds

Visual Field Test

Square
A visual field test, also called a perimetry test, assesses how much of your vision is available in your peripheral (side) vision. It's a common eye exam procedure used to help diagnose and monitor conditions that affect peripheral vision.

Frequently asked questions

Visual field tests help determine if there are any “blind spots” or areas of vision loss, and if so, how much and where they are located.

During the test, one eye is covered while looking at a fixed point in front and the examiner presents targets or lights in your peripheral vision.

Visual field testing is important for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like: 

  • Glaucoma
  • Strokes
  • Macular degeneration
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Optic nerve disorders
  • Brain tumors

The results of a visual field test can help determine the extent of your peripheral vision and identify any potential visual field deficits.
